The Fair Share Report

378 Eastern Blvd

Berkeley, NJ 08721

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $399,814

Likely range $315,594 – $443,534, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.95%

The state's official measure of how far Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $399,814 home should be assessed near $211,702.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$224,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $12,998 above what the ratio math suggests (6.1%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Berkeley home

$2.590 per $100 assessed

$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%

Step 5 · The bill

$5,820/yr
Public schools$2,726

Town of Berkeley$1,786
Berkeley average$5,442

Paying about right
